The striker will miss his country's game against Sweden

Juventus and Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo has tested positive for coronavirus, according to various reports in the Portuguese media. 

Ronaldo, 35, will miss his country's UEFA Nations League game against Sweden this week. 

The former Real Madrid man is asymptomatic and is self-isolating and following the necessary protocol.  

Juve are next in action against Crotone on Saturday before kicking off their Champions League campaign against Dynamo Kyic next Tuesday. 

Ronaldo is unlikely to be available for those games as he remains in quarantine until returning a negative result on the PCR test. 

Remember that Ronaldo's set to face Lionel Messi for the first time since leaving Madrid when Juve play Barça in the Champions League on Oct. 28.
